LD50 LC50 Mixture:ORAL LD50 (RAT) IS 2140 MG/KG
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:CONTACT WITH ELECTROLYTE CAUSES SEVERE
BURNS TO ALL TISSUES. INGESTION CAUSES SEVERE BURNS AND ULCERATION.
INHALATION CAUSES SEVERE RESPIRAATORY IRRITATION. INHALATION OR
INGESTION OF LEAD DUST MAY CA USE LASSITUDE, WEIGHT LOSS,
CONSTIPATION, ANEMIA, NAUSEA, VOMITING, PARALYSIS AND CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CONTAINS I A [7440-38-2]
WHICH IS LISTED BY NTP AND IARC AND REGULATED BY OSHA AS A
CARCINOGEN.
Effects of Overexposure:TISSUE BURNS/DAMAGE, LASSITUDE, WEIGHT LOSS,
CONSTIPATION, ANEMIA, NAUSEA, VOMITING, PARALYSIS AND CENTRAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS
MAY BE AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE.

First Aid:THE MOST IMPORTANT FIRST AID MEASURE FOR ACID EXPOSURE IS THE
IMMEDIATE APPLICATION OF A LARGE QUANTITY OF WATER. CONTAMINATED
CLOTHING SHOULD BE REMOVED UNDER RUNNING WATER AND THE APPLICATION
OF WAT ER CONTINUED UNTIL ALL TRACES OF ACID HAVE BEEN WASHED AWAY.
GET MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY. CONTACT LENSES SHOULD BE
REMOVED FORM EYES. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. DRINK WATER.

Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:NONE
Lower Limits:NOT GIVEN
Upper Limits:NOT GIVEN
Extinguishing Media:WATER, CARBON DIOXIDE OR DRY CHEMICAL
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND
FULL FACE-PIECE SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HYDROGEN GAS IS FORMED DURING CHARGING OF
BATTERIES AND BY ACTION OF SULFURIC ACID ON MOST METALS. HYDROGEN
GAS IS FLAMMABLE AND HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE.

Spill Release Procedures:ALL ACID MUST BE NEUTRALIZED IMMEDIATELY BY
COVERING WITH BAKING SODA (SODIUM BICARBONATE) OR SODA ASH (SODIUM
CARBONATE) AND THEN RINSING WITH WATER.
Neutralizing Agent:SODIUM BICARBONATE OR SODIUM CARBONATE

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN WELL VENTILATED, COOL AREA.
HANDLE CAREFULLY TO AVOID DAMAGING OR TURNING BATTERIES OVER. KEEP
ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION AWAY.
Other Precautions:ANY BROKEN OR OPEN BATTERIES MUST BE PLACED IN SEALED
PLASTIC CONTAINERS THAT WILL NOT LEAK ACID OR SOLID MATERIAL AND
DELIVERED TO A BATTERY RECYCLER.

Respiratory Protection:NOT NORMALLY REQUIRED.
Ventilation:GENERAL (MECHANICAL) VENTILATION WITH ACID-RESISTANT
COMPONENETS.
Protective Gloves:RUBBER OR PLASTIC ACID RESISTANT GLOVES
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL GOGGLES OR FACE SHIELD
Other Protective Equipment:ACID RESISTANT APRON. UNDER SEVERE OR
EMERGENCY CONDITIONS, WEAR ACID-RESISTANT CLOTHING AND BOOTS.
EMERGENCY EYEWASH.
Work Hygienic Practices:MAKE CERTAIN VENT CAPS ARE ON SECURELY. AVOID
CONTACT WITH INTERNAL PARTS.
Supplemental Safety and Health
GREATEST EXPOSURE TO LEAD COMES FROM DUST IN AIR AND ON HANDS WHEN
CLEANING BATTERY POSTS AND IF INTERNAL SOLID MATERIAL ARE EXPOSED
IF BATTERY IS OPENED OR BROKEN.
